Expert Solution

Depreciation is accumulated through years and credited to balance sheet and debited to income statement to reduce the value of machinery.

Straight line depreciation = cost of machine- residual value / useful life of asset

=366000- 0 /6years

=$ 6100 per year

Machinery purchased is capital cost and should be capitalized as asset and not debited as an expense.

Three years of depreciation 2015 2016 and 2017 would be acummulated and debited to retained earnings as expense.

As the expenses has been recorded more by machinery value ,retained earnings would be increased by crediting.

So net effect would be

Account	Debit	Credit
Machinery	366000
Accumulated depreciation		18300
retained earnings		347700

6100*3years = 18300

Retained earnings =366000-18300
